Church Farm Museum , Skegness

Church Farm Museum is a collection of local vernacular agricultural buildings that have been relocated to the site to ensure their preservation. These have in turn been converted into exhibits in themselves or exhibition spaces for the public to enjoy.

The proposal provides a new circular exhibition space and adjoining office and café facilities connecting two of the agricultural buildings via glazed links. This circular exhibition room built with straw bale acts as a reception space and new home for the museum’s iconic traction engine, ‘Bob’. Lit by clerestory glazing running along the circumference and a structural lantern from above our aim is to create a light filled space that is both dynamic
and memorable.

Completion: Autumn 2008

Contract Value: £500,000
